Hi all,

In need of some advice from the pros.

Due to aggression & territorial issues with my feline family, my biggest guy, Zorro, is on Clomicalm to try to get the anxiety down to manageable levels so that he doesn't terrorize his much smaller sister, Meg.

For the first couple of weeks, he took the pill reasonably well -- but the past couple of days have been just unholy mayhem trying to get them down him. He won't even touch a Pill Pocket (never would!), and when I have been successful in getting the pill into him, it's been by putting the pill into the back of his mouth and then massaging his throat while holding his muzzle shut.

That finally worked this evening, too -- but I've got some nice painful (and bloody) scratches up my arm to show for that "success".

And yes, I absolutely DO know how lucky we are when I compare my situation to these poor families whose kitties are really ill -- and if you're one of those members, please know that you and your kitties are always in my prayers. Meanwhile, though, my right arm and I would sure be relieved if any of you had any better ideas than I've had so far!

Hugs,
Diana
